This application is a file wrapper continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/345,650, filed Nov. 25, 1994, now abandoned.
This invention relates to a generally rectangular container, such as that used for food storage, and a cover therefor. More particularly, this invention relates to such a container which has a handle positioned at two diametrically-opposed corners for ease of carrying the container. The cover has a flap positioned on at least one corner such that when the cover is on the container, the flap will be over one of the other two diametrically-opposed of the container so as not to interfere with the handles.
Plastic containers with covers have become quite popular for storing items, particularly, for example, foodstuffs. As such, it is particularly important that there be a tight seal between the container base and the cover. U.S. Pat. No. 4,471,880 discloses a very popular version of such a container with a tight seal. In fact, the seal afforded by this patented concept is so good that it is often difficult to break the seal and remove the cover from the container.
Oftentimes, a small, generally horizontally-oriented tab is provided on the cover which is intended to be grasped and pulled upwardly by the user to break the seal. Such are often too small to provide the user with a sufficient grip to apply sufficient force to break the seal. Even making the tabs larger is not a feasible solution: first, because more lateral space is undesirably utilized, and, second, because only a generally vertical force is still applied, which force is not the ideal force for breaking the seal. Rather, a horizontal force moment applied to the outer periphery of the cover is more desirable to break the seal afforded by the concept of U.S. Pat. No. 4,471,880.
As a result, covers have recently been designed which have one or more downturned flaps that are elongate in nature to form a vertically-oriented lever. As a flap is flexed outwardly, a horizontal force moment is exerted on the periphery of the cover to break the seal with far less force that was required with the previously utilized horizontal tabs. In fact, even the youngest or oldest of users can readily break the airtight seal utilizing these flaps.
For round containers, usually one circumferentially-located flap will suffice. However, for rectangular or square containers, a flap positioned along any of the four sides is usually not sufficient for easy cover removal. Rather, the flap or flaps are preferably positioned at a corner or corners and usually extend a fairly substantial distance along the sides forming the corner. As such, the lever opening force is distributed along the two sides forming the corner and the seal is more readily broken.
The only major problem with the covers with these flaps is that they cannot readily be used with rectangular containers having conventionally-positioned handles. That is, quite often, particularly for larger containers, handles which extend outwardly from near the top of the container base are provided to assist in transporting the containers, which is especially important when hot items are contained therein. The traditional location for such handles on a rectangular container is on the opposed shorter sides. However, the flap on the cover will interfere with the handles and thus such covers cannot be utilized with conventional rectangular containers.
While the existence of the handles does not prohibit the nesting of the containers which is desirable for purposes of economic shipment, storage, retail display and the like, in containers which have internal walls which divide the container into compartments, such nesting is normally impractical, if not impossible, because of the interference of the dividing walls. Thus, the need exists for a divided, rectangular container which can nest within a like container.
It is thus an object of the present invention to provide a container base and cover therefor whereby the container can have one or more handles and the cover can have one or more opening flaps which do not interfere with the handles.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a container base and cover therefor, as above, which is generally rectangular and yet which does not permit the cover to be placed on the container base so as to cause any interference between the flap and the handles.
Is a further object of the present invention to provide a container base and cover therefor, as above, in which the handles are provided on opposed corners of the base and at least one flap is provided on a corner of the cover such that when the cover is positioned on the base, the flap will be adjacent to a corner of the base not having a handle.
It is an additional object of the present invention to provide a container base and cover therefor, as above, in which the base is divided into compartments in such a way that bases of like containers can still nest within each other.
These and other objects of the present invention, as well as the advantages over existing prior art forms, which will become apparent from the description to follow, are accomplished by the invention hereinafter described and claimed.
In general, a container made in accordance with the concepts of the present invention includes a generally rectangular base portion and a cover. The base portion includes a bottom surface and opposed side walls and opposed end walls extending upwardly from the bottom surface to form an open upper top which can be closed by the cover. The side walls merge with or otherwise intersect the end walls to form corners, and a handle is formed near the open top generally on at least one of two opposed corners. The cover includes a downwardly depending flap on at least one corner thereof such that when the cover is positioned on the base portion to close the open top, the flap is selectively positioned at one of the other two opposed corners of the base portion.
In accordance with another aspect of the invention, a divider wall, in the configuration of an inverted U, extends between opposed side walls to divide the base portion into two compartments. However, despite the presence of the wall, the base portions of these containers can still be stacked and/or nested within each other.
A preferred exemplary container incorporating the concepts of the present invention is shown by way of example in the accompanying drawings without attempting to show all the various forms and modifications in which the invention might be embodied, the invention being measured by the appended claims and not by the details of the specification.
FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing the base portion and cover which together form a container made in accordance with the concept of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the cover of FIG. 1 positioned on the base portion of FIG. 1 in one of two possible positions.
FIG. 3 is a sectional view showing the manner in which containers made in accordance with the present invention can nest.
A container made in accordance with the present invention is indicated generally by the numeral 10 and includes a base portion, generally indicated by the numeral 11, and a cover generally indicated by the numeral 12. Container 10 is preferably molded of a suitable plastic material such as polypropylene.
Cover 12 includes an upper flat surface 13 terminating at its periphery as an upper skirt 14. At the periphery of skirt 14 are downturned end walls 15 and side walls 16. Side walls 16 and end walls 15 generally merge with each other or otherwise form corners 17 therebetween. Corners 17 are shown as being generally rounded primarily for ease of molding. A downturned elongate flap 18 is formed on one corner 17 and downwardly depends therefrom. Flap 18 is utilized to remove cover 12 from base portion 11 and to that end one upper shoulder 19 thereof extends approximately one-third of the length of side walls 16 and the other upper shoulder 20 thereof extends approximately one-half of the length of end wall 15. If desired, another flap 18 may be provided at the diagonally opposite corner 17 of cover 12 without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Finally, with respect to cover 12, fluted ribbing 21 may be provided on skirt 14 and side walls 16, end walls 15 and even flap 18 not only for decorative purposes, but also to provide extra strength to cover 12 as it is flexed onto and off of base portion 11.
Base portion 11 includes a generally flat bottom surface 22 having opposed side walls 23, 24 and opposed end walls 25, 26 extending upwardly therefrom. Side walls 23, 24 and end walls 25, 26 merge to form corners 27 of the generally rectangular base portion 11. Like corners 17 of cover 12, corners 27 are shown as being rounded for ease of molding and, of course, to conform with corners 17. Side walls 23, 24 and end walls 25, 26 terminate as a generally vertically-extending upper lip 28 which forms the open top for base portion 11.
A generally horizontally-extending peripheral ledge 29 is formed between upper lip 28 and walls 23, 24, 25 and 26. When cover 12 is positioned on base portion 11, as shown in FIG. 2, the lower edges of cover end walls 15 and side walls 16 are generally adjacent to ledge 29 as walls 15 surround the upper lip 28 of base portion end walls 25, 26 and walls 16 surround the upper lip 28 of base portion side walls 23, 24. Cover 12 may thus engage lip 28 in any suitable fashion. For example, the sealing arrangement taught in U.S. Pat. No. 4,471,880, to which reference is made for whatever details may be necessary to understand the present invention, may be utilized so that cover 12 sealingly engages base portion 11.
When cover 12 is so positioned on base portion 11, the geometry is such that flap 18 may be positioned over corner 27 formed by the junction of side wall 24 with end wall 26 or corner 27 formed by the junction of side wall 23 and end wall 25, which is the orientation of flap 18 shown in the drawings. Thus, flap 18 cannot be positioned at the other diagonally-opposed corners 27 formed by the junction of side wall 23 and end wall 26, and side wall 24 and end wall 25, respectively. At one, and preferably both, of these corners, a handle 30 may be formed on base member 11. Handles 30 may take on any desired shape, but they are shown as being a convenient arcuate extension of ledge 29. That is, at the two diagonally-opposed corners 27, ledge 29 is arcuately enlarged to extend laterally outward of cover 12 and base portion 11 at the defined corners 27 thereof. It should be evident that no matter at which diametrically-opposed corner 27 flap 18 is positioned, it cannot be a corner 27 having a handle 30 associated therewith. Thus, handles 30 will not interfere with flap 18 which may therefore be conveniently grasped and lifted upwardly to break the seal and open container 10. Handles 30 can extend, however, and are in fact shown as extending, approximately half way along end walls 25, 26 and a smaller distance along side walls 23, 24.
As shown in FIG. 1, base container portion 11 may also be divided to provide for more than one storage compartment. Thus a divider wall 31 extends laterally between and within side walls 23 and 24 and generally parallel to end walls 25 and 26. Divider wall 31, as shown, can be in the form of an inverted U, thereby forming an opening 32 in the bottom of base surface 22 within the branches of the U-shaped wall 31. As such, as shown in FIG. 3, base container portions 11 may be stacked upon and nested within each other for ease of storage, shipment and retail display; that is, when stacked or nested, the opening 32 of the U-shaped divider wall 31 of the container 10 above will be conveniently received by the divider wall 31 of the container 10 below. Such is accommodated if all generally vertical walls of base portion 11 taper slightly outwardly from bottom to top which is the traditional draft angle needed when molding most plastic parts.
It should thus be evident that a container constructed in accordance with the concepts of the present invention satisfies the objects of the present invention and otherwise substantially improves the container art.

In a highly anticipated ruling today, the Supreme Court ruled the federal Defense of Marriage Act is unconstitutional.
This week the U-S Supreme Court is hearing arguments over same sex marriage. Tuesday, the court heard arguments challenging Prop 8, the California state constitutional amendment that prevents the state from recognizing same-sex marriage. John Dinan, professor of politics at Wake Forest University, says the California amendment differs from North Carolina's. The California Supreme Court recognized same-sex marriages in 2008, but six months later, Prop 8 took that recognition away.

Santos Leonor
Update on Santos LeonorSantos lives in her own house with her three children. She has a stand at her home where she sells "pupusas" (tortillas stuffed with cheese and meat or beans). She has been doing this work for a number of years and the profits she earns have allowed her to cover household costs. Santos is feisty and determined to provide the best for herself and her family - she does not want the family to go without. Santos is satisfied knowing that she has regular customers, as she is in an area that has many passers-by. Santos want to finish building the septic tank in her hope so that she can install a bathroom. However, she does not have a high enough income to invest in this work and is therefore applying for a loan that will allow her to buy cement and sand and to pay for labourers to finish the work and build the bathroom.
Previous Loan DetailsSantos is 49 years old and lives with her three children (ages 17, 12, and 3) who are completely dependent on her. She does not rely on help from anyone else in order to sustain her household. Santos prepares " pupusas " filled with cheese, a mixture of meats and vegetables, or with beans ...

Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is a special product offered by Apoyo Integral to help impoverished individuals in El Salvador make improvements to their homes, so as to offer safer and healthier living conditions to their families. These are individual loans for which the Field Partner has significantly lowered their guarantee standards because
the borrower is grouped with other Apoyo clients in a solidarity agreement. Normally, families at certain income levels are not eligible for housing loans. However, since group members are cross guaranteeing one another, Apoyo Integral has decided to fund these loans. Further, the field partner is working through local community development organizations to not only determine which families are the best candidates for the loans but also to offer technical assistance and education for loan recipients covering topics such as financial education, proper hygiene and sanitation, and efficient use of electricity.
About Apoyo IntegralApoyo Integral (Apoyo) is a nonprofit organization offering financial products that enable clients to increase their working capital, purchase fixed assets, buy and remodel homes, expand agricultural business and more. The organization's target group is businessmen and women who have already established their businesses but need financial support to strengthen or expand them.
Like Kiva, Apoyo is committed to empowering women involved in business activities in rural areas. Kiva lenders' funds will be used to expand these services to an even greater number of poor clients in rural areas.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
About Housing Loans
Many poor families cannot afford housing that meets their needs. When you make a housing loan on Kiva, you give people access to flexible capital to obtain or improve their homes. Better housing means better health, sanitation, and even educational outcomes for children. A house can also be much more for entrepreneurs who run businesses out of their homes. In this way, housing and small business loans on Kiva share a common purpose: to alleviate poverty and enable families to enjoy more stable lives.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

Team reviews
One of the best agents in the industry, hands down. Look no further. He sold me a house years ago and I went back to him for another investment opportunity. He knows his trade-craft very well. He is a master negotiator. He was able to negotiate the list price down $30,000.
I am very impressed and would definitely recommend to friends and family. Showed me several properties that fit my needs and was readily available whenever I had any questions.
We have worked with several realtor/brokers over the last couple of years with not much luck. Since working with Emilio, he has been helpful and attentive to our needs. We hope to find our future home with his help. We have very specific buying parameters and he has done his best to present us with good options. He is available via phone amd email at all times. Although we have not found the perfect house for us yet, it seems like he really cares about his clients. I would recommend him to others.
Thank you so much for helping me find my first home... I also thank you for your patience and dedication, as a first time buyer i know i was a bit on the perfection side, but with all your help am happy to say im a home owner...
Thank you Mayte Sanchez
First of all I have to start off by thanking Emilio for helping me find my beautiful home. The home buying process is crazy and complicated but he made it simple. Without him I would still be looking for a place to call home. He is the best!!!!!!!!
Oswald Azua
Thank you Emilio for helping me with all my real-estate needs. I wouldn't trust my investments or my home with anyone else! His experience is what makes him the best in the business.
-Jordan Clarke
Emilio Cardenal assisted my first home in Doral Isles. He also later helped me sell this property and the experience was truly excellent! Emilio is one of the most professional Brokers that I have enjoyed working with.
Mr. Cardenal helped us when we were buying our first home in Kendall. He knew exactly what we were looking for and we found our perfect home. Emilio is a very honest person and we felt very comfortable with him. He know how to get you a good deal. Thank you.
We wouldn't have our home if we hadn't used his professional services. His English was perfect for negotiating and Spanish to communicate with my husband and me. Having over 25 years of experience in South Florida helped everything run smoother. He knows most of the people in the industry which is a big plus.

I have an Oracle stored procedure that has been running for 7 or so years both locally on development instances and on multiple client test and production instances running Oracle 8, then 9, then 10, and recently 11. It has worked consistently until the upgrade to Oracle 11g. Basically, the procedure opens a reference cursor, updates a table then completes. In 10g the cursor will contain the expected results but in 11g the cursor will be empty. No DML or DDL changed after the upgrade to 11g. This behavior is consistent on every 10g or 11g instance I've tried (10.2.0.3, 10.2.0.4, 220.127.116.11, 126.96.36.199 - all running on Windows).
The specific code is much more complicated but to explain the issue in somewhat realistic overview: I have some data in a header table and a bunch of child tables that will be output to PDF. The header table has a boolean (NUMBER(1) where 0 is false and 1 is true) column indicating whether that data has been processed yet.
The view is limited to only show rows in that have not been processed (the view also joins on some other tables, makes some inline queries and function calls, etc). So at the time when the cursor is opened, the view shows one or more rows, then after the cursor is opened an update statement runs to flip the flag in the header table, a commit is issued, then the procedure completes.
On 10g, the cursor opens, it contains the row, then the update statement flips the flag and running the procedure a second time would yield no data.
On 11g, the cursor never contains the row, it's as if the cursor does not open until after the update statement runs.
I'm concerned that something may have changed in 11g (hopefully a setting that can be configured) that might affect other procedures and other applications. What I'd like to know is whether anyone knows why the behavior is different between the two database versions and whether the issue can be resolved without code changes.
Update 1: I managed to track the issue down to a unique constraint. It seems that when the unique constraint is present in 11g the issue is reproducible 100% of the time regardless of whether I'm running the real world code against the actual objects or the following simple example.
Update 2: I was able to completely eliminate the view from the equation. I have updated the simple example to show the problem exists even when querying directly against the table.
Simple Example
CREATE TABLE tbl1
col1 VARCHAR2(10),
col2 NUMBER(1)
INSERT INTO tbl1 (col1, col2) VALUES ('TEST1', 0);
/* View is no longer required to demonstrate the problem
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW vw1 (col1, col2)
SELECT col1, col2
FROM tbl1
WHERE col2 = 0;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE pkg1
TYPE refWEB_CURSOR IS REF CURSOR;
PROCEDURE proc1 (crs OUT refWEB_CURSOR);
END pkg1;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY pkg1
PROCEDURE proc1 (crs OUT refWEB_CURSOR)
OPEN crs FOR
SELECT col1
FROM tbl1
WHERE col1 = 'TEST1'
AND col2 = 0;
UPDATE tbl1
SET col2 = 1
WHERE col1 = 'TEST1';
END proc1;
END pkg1;
Anonymous Block Demo
crs1 pkg1.refWEB_CURSOR;
TYPE rectype1 IS RECORD (
col1 vw1.col1%TYPE
rec1 rectype1;
pkg1.proc1 ( crs1 );
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('begin first test');
FETCH crs1
INTO rec1;
EXIT WHEN crs1%NOTFOUND;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('end first test');
/* After creating this index, the problem is seen */
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX unique_col1 ON tbl1 (col1);
/* Reset data to initial values */
TRUNCATE TABLE tbl1;
INSERT INTO tbl1 (col1, col2) VALUES ('TEST1', 0);
crs1 pkg1.refWEB_CURSOR;
TYPE rectype1 IS RECORD (
col1 vw1.col1%TYPE
rec1 rectype1;
pkg1.proc1 ( crs1 );
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('begin second test');
FETCH crs1
INTO rec1;
EXIT WHEN crs1%NOTFOUND;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('end second test');
Example of what the output on 10g would be:
begin first test
end first test
begin second test
end second test
Example of what the output on 11g would be:
begin first test
end first test
begin second test
end second test
I can't remove the COMMIT because in the real world scenario the procedure is called from a web application. When the data provider on the front end calls the procedure it will issue an implicit COMMIT when disconnecting from the database anyways. So if I remove the COMMIT in the procedure then yes, the anonymous block demo would work but the real world scenario would not because the COMMIT would still happen.
Why is 11g behaving differently? Is there anything I can do other than re-write the code?

Stevie Nicks fans will get their fill with In Your Dreams: review
Steve Nicks: Nicks In Your Dreams is an affectionate documentary about the Fleetwood Mac singer co-directed by Eurythmics Dave Stewart.

Stevie Nicks: In Your Dreams
A documentary about the making of Stevie Nicks' album. Directed by Nicks and Dave Stewart. 100 minutes. Screens April 16-18 at TIFF Bell Lightbox. G
Steve Nicks:In Your Dreams shows devotion to its raspy-voiced rock goddess subject immediately, with a montage of concert-goers professing their love for the poetic Fleetwood Macsinger-songwriter who went on to solo success.
Screening at a pair of gala premieres Monday night at the TIFF Bell Lightbox with Nicks in attendance to do post-show Q&A sessions, true fans will find their gold dust woman as the doc unspools, witnessing the creative machinery behind her songwriting process, as Nicks makes the 2011 album of the same name in her California home studio.
Nicks and the rest of Fleetwood Mac (minus Christine McVie, who exited the band in 1998) play the Air Canada Centre Tuesday.
Nicks directs the doc with musician-producer Dave Stewart of Eurythmics fame, who co-wrote some of the songs on In Your Dreams, co-producing the album with Glen Ballard.
Stewart, who has been working with film since he traded a gold coin he found on the street for a camera, explains he and Nicks come from similar places. Both made music at the start of their careers with romantic partners; he with Annie Lennox and Nicks with Lindsey Buckingham, which ended when the band was recording 1977's Rumours.
Musical film bios that also serve as companion pieces (or marketing devices, for the cynical) for releases are popping up all over lately, most notably: The History of the Eagles: Part 1 and 2 and Dave Grohl's Sound City.
The track-by-track exploration reveals Nicks as a perfectionist with a remarkable ear and impressive musical memory. She uses poetry from her journal to create lyrics — borrowing others from Edgar Allan Poe — setting them to music she randomly figures out on a keyboard (she has no formal training). Other times she sets her words to Stewart's guitar.
If Nicks decides to break musical or lyric-writing rules as she goes (to the obvious exasperation of Buckingham in one amusing scene), it makes no nevermind to her. "You wouldn't say that to Dylan," she snaps.
The track-by-track journey through the album gets a bit dreary, but hearing that throaty, constricted voice soar above the music as Nicks stands in the echo chamber created by her home's curved staircase or while dressed as a witchy diva on her terrace to belt out the poignant "Italian Summer," makes up for a lot.
And for those of us who have loved Nicks since she joined Fleetwood Mac in 1974, seeing her peer at a lyric sheet through a magnifying glass brings a certain comfort. We're getting older, too, Stevie.

DreamWorks Animation has released a second full-length trailer for Rise of the Guardians, director Peter Ramsey's fantasy adventure that pits such legendary characters as Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy against an evil spirit with plans to conquer the world.
Rise of the Guardians is an epic and magical adventure that tells the story of Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, the Sandman and Jack Frost — legendary characters with previously unknown extraordinary abilities. When an evil spirit known as Pitch lays down the gauntlet to take over the world, the immortal Guardians must join forces to protect the hopes, beliefs and imagination of children everywhere.
Watch the trailer below or in HD at Apple.com. Executive produced by Guillermo del Toro and Michael Siegel, Rise of the Guardians features the voices of Chris Pine, Alec Baldwin, Hugh Jackman, Isla Fisher and Jude Law. It opens Nov. 21.
I'm not sure I like Chris Pine's voice for the lead character, just based on appearances.

Economic Downturn and Weak Dollar Slow Remittances
New York, NY —
Analysts predict that 2008 will be the first year in a decade that immigrants will send less wealth back to South America and the Caribbean. WNYC's Marianne McCune reports.
REPORTER: Ever since 2000, analysts at the Inter-American Development Bank have seen double digit increases in remittances to South America and the Caribbean. That started to slow down last year, and this year they project a slight drop, factoring in inflation. In New York, a small increase is projected - but a much smaller one than in previous years.
The development bank says immigrants are sending less back because of economic downturns in the U.S. and in Spain, as well as a weaker dollar; they're also spending more on oil and food. Two years ago, three-quarters of immigrants surveyed by the bank said they were sending money back on a regular basis.
This year, only half said so. The Development Bank says the immigration climate has also played a part - at the start of this decade, about a third of immigrants said discrimination was a problem. This year, two thirds thought so. For WNYC, I'm Marianne McCune.

Scientifi c Paper
Gordana PEHNEC, Vladimira VAĐIĆ, Ivan BEŠLIĆ, and Silva ŽUŽUL
Institute for Medical Research and Occupational Health, Zagreb, Croatia
Received in June 2008
Accepted in October 2008
Ozone concentrations were measured at three sites in Zagreb (Croatia) in the summer of 2005. Two
measuring sites were in urban areas, while the third site was in a rural area about 30 km to the south from the
centre of Zagreb. Hourly ozone averages varied between 1 µg m-3 and 209 µg m-3. Average concentrations
were the lowest in the rural area, even though elevated concentrations were recorded occasionally. However,
the weather conditions during measurements were untypical for that time of the year; over the summer
of 2005 there were many rainy and cloudy days. Ozone concentrations at all three sites were the highest
on Saturdays and Sundays, and the lowest on Thursdays. All the results were analysed with regard to the
meteorological conditions (wind velocity and direction, temperature, relative humidity).
KEY WORDS: air, meteorological conditions, nitrogen dioxide, rural area, urban area
Zagreb is the capital of Croatia, situated in the
northeastern part of the country, at the foot of Mt
Medvednica (altitude 1035 m a.s.l.) to the north
and by the River Sava to the south. The climate is
continental. There are about 780,000 inhabitants
living in the city and additional 310,000 living on the
outskirts. Although the fi rst measurements of ozone
in Zagreb were carried out in the summer of 1975
(1, 2), they have become continuous since 1999, and
have been used to assess air quality. Today there are
six stations that measure ozone concentrations in the
city using automatic devices or manual methods. Our
measurements have shown that ozone concentrations
sometimes exceed the levels set by Croatian legislation
(3, 4). Presently, ozone concentrations in Zagreb
suburbia may be higher than in the city due to the
transport of ozone precursors (5-7). In towns, where
the traffi c emission is high, ozone reacts with other
species, especially with NO. At the same time, some
ozone precursors are stable and may be transported
by air masses to long distances. However, continuous
measurements of ozone pollution have not been
conducted in Zagreb suburbia. Measurements obtained
by passive and active samplers in the summer of 2000
showed higher ozone concentrations in the suburbia
than in the city. The highest values were obtained
about 30 km to the south from the city centre during a
heat wave in August 2000. From 13 to 28 August, daily
averages exceeded 180 µg m-3 (3). For this reason we
decided to repeat ozone measurements south of Zagreb
using an automatic device, and to compare them with
measurements in the city. To fi nd the main causes
of high ozone concentrations in the suburbia, we
analysed all results taking into account meteorological
conditions (wind velocity and direction, temperature,
relative humidity). Data on nitrogen dioxide (NO2)
concentrations from two measuring sites in the city
were analysed in order to establish ozone variations
over the week.
Ozone concentrations were measured at three sites
in Zagreb and its suburbs from 1 July to 1 October
2005. The fi rst site was in a residential, northern part,
Pehnec G, et al. SUMMER OZONE IN ZAGREB
Arh Hig Rada Toksikol 2009;60:35-42
Page 2
with low traffi c density. The second site was in the city
centre, with high traffi c density. The third measuring
site was in a sparsely populated rural area about 30 km
to the south from the Zagreb centre, about 10 km to the
south from the town of Velika Gorica, and at 100 m
distance from a major road (Figure 1). All three sites
were approximately at the same altitude: residential
north at 161 m a.s.l., centre at 120 m a.s.l., and south
suburbs at 160 m a.s.l. The last site is typical for that
suburban area. Houses are typically located along
roads, with fi elds behind the buildings. This is the
same location where the highest ozone values were
measured in the summer of 2000.
Ozone concentrations were measured using
commercial automatic devices based on UV absorption
at 254 nm. For measurements in the residential north
and in the centre, we used HORIBA APOA-360
ozone analysers, and for the south suburbia, the
Environnement 41 M ozone analyser. The limits
of detection were 1 µg m-3 (0.5 ppb) and 2 µg m-3
(1 ppb), respectively. HORIBA APOA-360 ozone
analysers were serviced and calibrated using four
different set concentrations once a year. Daily quality
assessment included zero- and span-checking (using
one set concentration) using the HORIBA AFCU-
360 RC calibration system. The instrument used in
the north was tested at the intercomparison workshop
organised by the World Health Organization in
Langen, Germany (May 2006). The instrument used
in the rural area was also serviced and calibrated
once a year, using zero- and span-checking of one set
concentration for quality assessment. The accuracy
of the Environnement 41 M ozone analyser had been
tested at earlier intercomparison workshops organised
by the World Health Organization in Langen,
Germany (in May 1999 and May 2002). There was
also an intercomparison between the instruments used
in the north and in the south. The sites in the northern
part and in the centre of Zagreb are part of the city
and national network for air quality monitoring. In the
north, ozone had been measured using an automatic
device since 1996, and in the centre since 2004.
The measuring site in the city centre is a part of the
national network for continuous air quality monitoring
organised by the Croatian Ministry of Environmental
Protection, Physical Planning and Construction (8).
In the north, meteorological parameters
(temperature, relative humidity, wind velocity and
direction) were obtained using an automatic measuring
station. Meteorological conditions for the suburban
site and for the city centre were obtained from the
nearest respective meteorological stations.
We measured NO2 concentrations in the northern
part of Zagreb using an HORIBA APNA-360 NOx
analyser with the detection limit of 1 µg m-3 (0.5
ppb). Data on NO2 concentrations in the centre
were obtained from the Ministry of Environmental
Protection, Physical Planning and Construction web
site (8). For NO2 measurement, the Ministry used the
same instrument with the same detection limit as we
did. Both instruments were checked and serviced in
the same way as ozone monitors. NO concentrations
were not included in the study because the Croatian
Air Protection Act does not stipulate a limit value for
that pollutant.
Based on the obtained data, we calculated daily,
hourly, and eight-hourly ozone averages. Tables 1
and 2 show the results of ozone measurements at all
three sites. Means, medians, standard deviations, and
minimum and maximum values were calculated for
hourly and daily averages. In the northern, residential
part of the city, hourly averages ranged between
10 µg m-3 and 209 µg m-3. In the centre, hourly ozone
concentrations ranged between 10 µg m-3 and 183 µg m-3.
In the southern suburbs, hourly ozone concentrations
were between 1 µg m-3 and 121 µg m-3.
Daily averages ranged between 11 µg m-3 and
137 µg m-3 in the north, between 13 µg m-3 and
98 µg m-3 in the centre, and between 3 µg m-3 and
60 µg m-3 in the southern suburbs.

for hourly, eight-hourly, and daily ozone averages.
In accordance with the EU Directive 2002/3/EC
(12), the alert threshold for the hourly average is
180 µg m-3 and the limit value for eight-hour running
average is 120 µg m-3. There is also a limit value of
110 µg m-3 for 24-hour averages. The purpose of this
study was not to categorise an area according to ozone
pollution, because this requires at least a whole-year
measurement. Our measurements were carried out
only over the summer months. However, this is the
most interesting part of the year because the highest
values are usually recorded over the summer, when
the sunlight is the most intense. In this study, hourly
alert threshold of 180 µg m-3 was exceeded 12 times in
the north and once in the city centre (Table 1). Eight-
hour averages did not exceed the 120 µg m-3 limit in
the city centre and in the suburbia, but exceeded it in
the north on four days. Daily averages exceeded the
110 µg m-3 limit only in the north (Table 2).
Figure 2 shows daily variations of ozone
concentrations in the north, city centre and in the
southern suburbia. Daily variations were similar in
the north and the city centre. In the suburbia, ozone
concentrations peaked between 12.00 h and 14.00 h,
while at other sites maximum values were recorded
between 14.00 h and 17.00 h.
Average ozone concentrations in the city (north
and centre) were similar (see Tables 1 and 2). Medians
were higher in the centre, but in the north they showed
greater variability and twice as high standard deviation.
The northern residential area also showed the highest
hourly and daily values and it most often exceeded the
limit values compared to other measuring sites. The
centre and the north were both infl uenced by traffi c
pollution, but due to the lower traffi c density in the
north than in the centre, ozone was less consumed in
the reaction with NO, leaving thus room for occasional
high O3 values. The same timing of daily ozone peaks
(Figure 2) at both locations in the city is corresponded
to the NOx peaks caused by increased traffi c density
in rush hours.
In our 2005 measurements, southern suburbia had
the lowest ozone concentrations. This is quite unlike
the 2000 summer measurements at the same site (3),
and also unlike other European measurements in
similar suburbs (5,6).
Many authors (13, 14) analysed differences
in ozone concentrations between weekend and
weekdays. Ozone concentrations are closely related
to the concentrations of its precursors, especially NO2.
On weekends, traffi c intensity is usually lower, and so
is NO2 emission (and the emission of some organic
compounds). Considering the mechanism of NO2
photolysis, it is expected that ozone concentration
will decrease with decreasing NO2. However,
measurements showed that ozone concentrations often
increased on weekends (13, 14). There are several
causes for such ozone behaviour, for example a
reduction in NOx emissions on weekends that reduces
the titration of ozone with NO; a weekend change
in the timing of NOx peak that allows more effi cient
production of ozone; increased sunlight caused by a
reduction in the amount of soot in the air; carryover of

vehicle emissions near the ground and aloft; or increase
in weekend emissions, particularly from off-road
sources (domestic heating, lawnmowers etc.). In this
paper, average ozone concentrations were calculated
for every day of the week at all three sites. Figure 3
shows variations of average ozone concentrations over
the week. At all three sites ozone concentrations were
the lowest on Thursdays and the highest on Saturdays
and Sundays. A statistical t-test was performed to
test the differences in O3 concentrations between
the days of the week. It showed no statistically
signifi cant difference between weekdays at either site.
In the north and in the south, the difference in ozone
levels between weekdays and weekends was also
not signifi cant (t<0.992 and t<1.498, respectively,
P<0.05). However, a statistically signifi cant difference
was found between Wednesdays and weekends in
the city centre (t between 2.542 and 3.095, P<0.05)
and Thursdays and weekends (t between 2.845 and
3.371, P<0.05). Ozone concentrations on Tuesdays
and Fridays also signifi cantly differed from Sundays
(t>2.599, P<0.05).
NO2 concentrations were measured in the northern
residential area and in the centre at the same time.
Table 3 shows daily NO2 concentrations. Daily
averages varied from 4.5 µg m-3 to 27.4 µg m-3 in
the north (average 14.5 µg m-3) and from 10.3 µg m-
3 to 44.4 µg m-3 (average 29.4 µg m-3) in the city
centre where they were the lowest on Fridays and
Saturdays and the highest on Wednesdays. In the
north, the lowest NO2 concentrations were observed on
Saturdays and Sundays and the highest on Thursdays
(Figure 4). Student t-test between average NO2 values
showed that in the north NO2 concentrations did not
signifi cantly differ between weekdays. However, a
statistically signifi cant difference was found between
any of the weekdays and weekends (t between
2.460 and 4.108, P<0.05). Concentrations did not
differ signifi cantly between Saturdays and Sundays.
Friday NO2 concentrations in the city centre were
signifi cantly lower than on other weekdays (t between
2.781 and 4.256, P<0.05). Saturday NO2 levels were
the lowest, and were signifi cantly different from all
other days in the week, including Sunday (t between
Pehnec G, et al. SUMMER OZONE IN ZAGREB
Arh Hig Rada Toksikol 2009;60:35-42
Page 5
2.781 and 6.279, P<0.05). The highest difference
between weekday and weekend ozone concentrations
was recorded in the city centre with higher average
NO2 levels and higher NO2 variations.
Over the measuring period, hourly temperature
averages ranged between 3.9 °C and 42.3 °C while
relative humidity ranged between 19 % and 98 %.
However, the whole summer of 2005 was atypical,
colder than usual, and with as many as 33 rainy days.
In contrast, the summer of 2000, when preliminary
ozone measurements were made, was very hot, with
many sunny days. This is probably the main reason
for the lower ozone concentrations at the suburban
location in the summer of 2005 than of 2000. At the
same time, ozone levels in the city were the same or
even higher over the summer of 2005 than the summer
of 2000 (3). These fi ndings can not only be explained
by more or less sun radiation (in which case 2005
ozone levels should be low at all three locations).
Linear correlation coeffi cients were calculated
between hourly ozone concentrations and temperature
and relative humidity. As expected, a statistically
signifi cant positive correlation was found between
ozone concentrations and temperature (r between
0.57 and 0.61; P<0.001) and negative correlation
between ozone and relative humidity (r between –0.39
and –0.79; P<0.001) at all three sites. An increase in
temperature and lower humidity are the result of higher
solar radiation. At the same time, solar radiation has a
key role in ozone formation (ozone is formed through
photochemical reactions of nitrogen oxides and volatile
organic compounds). Although there is no causal
relationship between ozone, temperature, and relative
humidity, high temperature and low relative humidity
are connected with higher sun radiation and sometimes
may be the indicators of high ozone values.
Data on wind direction and wind velocity were
analysed as well. Unfortunately, we did not have
hourly data on wind direction at these three locations
for the summer of 2000, but only for the summer
of 2005. Although the most dominant winds in
Zagreb area are north and northeast winds (2), the
wind roses at measuring sites did not show the same
pattern because they were infl uenced by the local
setup (buildings, trees, shelters). Figure 5 shows the
wind roses for all three sites for the period 1 July - 1
October 2005. The most frequent wind in the northern
part of Zagreb was SSE. Average wind velocity was
less than 0.52 m s-1 from all directions. The wind with
the highest average velocity was SEE and with the
lowest NNE (Figure 5a). The highest average ozone
concentrations (more than 80 µg m-3) were associated
with winds from directions SE, SSE, and WNW. The
lowest concentrations were connected with winds
from the NNE direction. SE and SSE winds bring
pollutants from the city centre to the north (Figure 1)
while the nearest road is in the WNW direction.
In the city centre, the predominant winds were
ENE, E, and ESE. Winds blowing from N and NW
were less frequent. Average wind velocity was the
highest from directions NE, ENE, and E (Figure 5b).
However, the wind rose in Figure 5b (3) shows that
the average ozone concentrations did not signifi cantly
depend on wind direction, although the highest average
ozone concentrations were associated with both E and
W winds. The lowest concentrations were associated
with winds from N and NW directions. This suggest
that ozone levels in the city centre were not infl uenced
by the transport of pollutants from other sectors.
In the southern suburbia, the most frequent winds
were NNE, W, and ESE. The highest average wind
velocity was that of NNE (Figure 5c). The highest
average ozone concentrations (more than 40 µg
m-3) were associated with NNE and NE winds and
with SW and SWS winds (Figure 5c). The lowest
concentrations were associated with W and SSE
winds. These fi ndings suggest that ozone levels at
this site depend on N and NE winds (coming from the

text: Room was lovely with great sea view. Service excellent (except for Room Service).Food in Villa Cipriana and at breakfast was excellent, but otherwise good without being outstanding.
